Even better than that, Shazz: from the British Transport Police website (http://www.btp.police.uk/contact.htm) -

"You can now report graffiti on the rail system on-line: Anyone with information about graffiti vandals and taggers can e-mail graffiticrime@btp.pnn.police.uk - or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."

I've already sent them an e-mail, with a link to that website, by the way.  Wink Cheesy Grin

I'm glad they are!  Hopefully they're already doing something about it, too!  Wink

Problem is - these sites are making their way around the forums and giving them the publicity they want!

about time more was done to catch these fools.

also about time train companies used anti grafitti paint on their units,take 158761&764 not long off refresh and they were done been cleaned off but it still leaves a mark,if they had anti grafitti coating then it would be back to normal.
